What is Disciplining satire : the censorship of satiric comedy on the eighteenth-century London stage about?

This Book Examines The Effects Of The Stage Licensing Act Of 1737 On Its Main Target, Satiric Comedy. The Licensing Act Is Generally Considered To Have Been A Significant And Repressive Censorship Law (it Was Not Repealed Until 1968), But Very Little Is Known About How It Actually Worked And What Effects It Had On Satiric Comedy. Focusing On The Playwriting Careers Of Henry Fielding, Samuel Foote, And Charles Macklin, The Three Most Controversial And Heavily Censored Satiric Dramatists Of The Century, Disciplining Satire Pays Particular Attention To What Type Of Satiric Expression The Law Encouraged, Not Just To What It Prohibited.--jacket. 1.
